1. I am a CUHK staff, and I have a student who seems to have learning difficulties and needs and/or who claims to have some features of SEN. What kind of support/resources could I recommend to this student?
You may refer the student to contact SEN Service; an appointment will be scheduled for the student to meet with our SEN Service Manager, who will discuss with the student his/her learning needs and refer the student to take relevant assessment by external professionals if necessary. If the student has been assessed and/or diagnosed a certain type of SEN, he/she will be eligible to register with SEN Service, and our SEN Service Manager will discuss further about the possible lecture and/or examination accommodations with him/her.
2. I am a CUHK student; I have never been diagnosed/assessed with SEN but I recognize that I have features of certain SEN type(s) for a prolonged period, which might have caused learning difficulties in my studies. How may I seek support from the University?
You may reach out to SEN Service to schedule an appointment to meet with our SEN Service Manager, who will assess preliminarily and may refer him/her to take relevant assessment by external professionals if necessary. Alternatively, you may also consider visiting the University Medical Service Office to see the general practitioner and psychiatrist for assessment. If you have been assessed and/or diagnosed a certain type of SEN, you will be eligible to register with SEN Service, and our SEN Service Manager will discuss further about the possible lecture and/or examination accommodations with you.
